Liverpool team news:

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will be sweating over the fitness of star midfielder Emre Can. The 23-year-old missed the weekend clash due to a calf injury and is a major doubt going into Wednesday night’s game.

The German tactician is expected to rotate his team for the trip to the West Midlands. Both Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are set to make a return to the starting eleven after their break at the weekend.

Meanwhile, Dejan Lovren is also a doubt going into Wednesday’s clash due to a back injury.
